How We (re)Created a 90s Rave | My Mad Fat Diary

[@siobhanbutterworth4361]

What I'd do to be a teenager in the 90's it just seems so much better!

[@bootyclaw]

It really was.

[@LC-ni3qo]

It was

[@kelceyfirth]

The girl who plays Rae really shocked me with that Scottish accent, her fake accent in the show is very realistic.

[@Janne]

The rave scene was so well done! Actually, that entire episode was solid, from the music, to the set, and the acting - they nailed it. :D

[@jacquelinezhao8537]

I love the attention to detail they put into this show all the way down to the music and the clothes.

[@bootyclaw]

I grew up in the 90s and 1996 was my absolutely favourite year of all time. I would give ANYTHING to go back and relive that time, and not just because it was my youth, but also because things really were simpler and less shallow back then. The way Sharon Rooney describes it from 2:21 - 2:36 is exactly how things are now, and exactly how it was then. Such a contrast and a massive change, and not for the better. I'm so glad I grew up back then. I don't think I would have enjoyed, or even survived my youth if I'd had to grow up in the superficial environment that the world has now become. I keep reading lots of comments from the youth of today saying that they would liked to have lived in the 90s, so it seems that even they don't like this social media-ruled, materialistic society either. I would love it if everyone admitted this in the real world, rather than just online, and consciously decided to go back to the way it was back then. They wouldn't regret it. Everyone would be so much happier, carefree, innocent and less self-conscious. I bet so many kids would love for this to happen. But I fear there is no way back now and that it will probably get even worse. And it makes me so sad.

bootyclaw Could not have said it better myself! I was born in '94 and I'm happy to say I'm part of the last generation that experienced a care free world. Being a child in the 90's was amazing and have so many amazing memories of those years, but I would have loved if the world continued with the same attitude it did in those day.

[@chaitea1039]

I need a season 4!

[@XxShroomsAnyonexX]

i keep forgetting this show is set in the 90s

[@anxsie]

it looks like the same place they used for the rave in gen 1 skins....

[@scifikoala]

yeah i noticed that too, i think its the same place

[@XDTonyXD2]

I think is the same place too

[@captivatedlady]

One thing I noticed that I liked about this show is they really do look very 90s. I was a teen in the 90s and I dressed like Rae almost everyday, the t shirts, flannels, jeans, chucks. Even the way they do Chloe's makeup is very 90s, really takes me back. The only thing is the leggings under the skirts thing wasn't as big maybe cause I'm in the US. Even the way the boys dress, they did a great job.

[@lauragutierrez4987]

captivate

[@cubleycat]

In my 40s now and I can honestly say the 90s was mint, some of the best ever tracks by the best ever artists. Must be that I am old but no music these days has the same impact as it did in the 90s

[@ShannonIonaFaith]

Cannot wait for the next series!

[@guiltymammy6318]

I was 16 in 1996 happy days ,the nostalgia with the music was a great rush for me 😀

[@skulldrix]

That looks like so much fucking fun. I wanna go to a rave now.

[@MsFlawlesslawless]

Love this show so much!

[@QueenJellybean3]

When time machines are invented, we're all going on a road trip to the 90's haha

[@zerogravity889]

I wish I'd been raes age in the 90s

[@bootyclaw]

I was a few years older than she's supposed to be in 1996 and it was just the best time ever.

[@rosey_1273]

Jenna Thompson oh me too

[@sophiew1967]

On Channel 4 PLEASE try & revise this amazing programme and write more episodes with them now in their 40' s ..Oh man I' m 53 and raved through the late 80' s & 90' s..it was wonderful.Please bring the gang bang I again.I feel simple hearing them talk about the 90' s the way we talked about Woodstock in the 60' s 😂😂😂

[@BleedingxRainbow]

there are still raves like this...but with even more electro music subgenres now

[@nutella-cr5jp]

what the song at 0:33 called

[@RebeccaO619]

Respect to the 90's fashion but underground raves are waaaaay better now as far as production sound and lights go.

[@deliciator855]

The music and fashion of the 90s was the shit! Soo glad this stuff is currently in fashion; and did they try to make Chloe is this episode look like the lead singer of Garbage?

[@diskobby]

They're talking like raves don't exist anymore... Like this still happens at proper raves guys

[@ChillyMilly908]

+Soph Rebecca they aren't talking like raves don't exist, they're talking like raves have changed a bit and there is different clothing and decorations and music....

[@genstar92]

What's the music at 3:20?

[@got2love1D]

I just need a new season

[@crushbourne2535]

[@gemmaandangel2555]

Crush Bourne voodoo people

[@meggymoo138]

[@xrhiannonclarksonx1031]

[@pinwheel8723]

born slippy by underworld

[@KylumCrazyKillerKylumRaquet]

[@cutehotchick123]

whats the song at the start

[@itsgeorgiakwan]

insomnia

[@libbieking9284]

What is that song ?!!!

[@ConcreteGirl4]

watch the rave episode of Spaced to get it right

[@megitufa5020]

Is it me or they made Rae wear Michael Jackson inspired clothes for the rave? :)

[@scifikoala]

hmm i might not know a lot about the rave scene but the clothes and stuff looks a lot like the sort of stuff raver kids i know now wear and have, just the music is a bit different

[@jennifersoriano9836]

hey can anyone help me find the songs they used for the rave ?

[@AmyyBot]

Bit late but these are the ones from the show: Insomnia (Monster Mix) by Faithless, Born Slippy by Underworld, Higher State of a Consciousness (Dirty South & TV Rock remix) by Wink and Children by Robert Miles xx

[@apatten17]

MIKE!!!!

[@GigGMD]

Good!!!

[@Anousenka]

Actually, a lot of what Rae wears, like the leggings and long, form - fitting shirts, aren't very '90s at all. It's very contemporary. Maybe I'm just unfamiliar with '90s fashion in England, but not all of it looks like the '90s to me, hee :P

[@LydElephant]

It is kind of all the 90's fashion in England ahha

[@cosmicactivity299]

Woah

[@gonzalezgonzalez8079]

Whyyyy😣

[@sophiew1967]

The thing these guys just don't ' get' is that we all took E..( I bizarrely raved on acid because it didn't work in me) .They can't relate to it because today's British youth are a booze culture..different world & compared to now we had zero knife crime too in our big cities .

[@j.c985]

When I was a teenager in the 2010s, we all took E too.

[@TabithaTheThird]

What's the music at 0:20?

[@EDD-pi8hx]

Insomnia by Faithless
